Wouldn’t a person separated from God cease to be held together, and thus cease to exist?
If God’s creation would be separated from God, would be cease to exist.
CCC 301 With creation, God does not abandon his creatures to themselves. He not only gives them being and existence, but also, and
at every moment, upholds and sustains them in being, enables them to act and brings them to their final end. Recognizing this utter dependence with respect to the Creator is a source of wisdom and freedom, of joy and confidence.

CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA Divine Providence
explains;
The beneficent purpose of an all-seeing Providence, is
wholly gratuitous, entirely unmerited (Romans 3:24; 9:11-2).
It extends to
all men (Romans 2:10; 1 Timothy 2:4),
even to the reprobate Jews (Romans 11:26 sq.); and by it all God’s dealings with man are regulated (Ephesians 1:11).
It extends to every individual, adapting itself to the
needs of each (St. John Chrysostom, “Hom. xxviii in Matt.”, n. 3).
All things are created and governed
with a view to man, to the
development of his life and his intelligence, and to the satisfaction of his needs (Aristides, “Apol.”, i, v).
His wisdom He so
orders all events within the universe that the end for which it was created may be
realized.
God preserves the universe in being;
He acts in and with every creature in each and all its activities.
God is the sole ruler of the world.
His will governs all things. He loves all men, desires the salvation of all, and His providence extends to all nation.
Again, from the fact that God has created the universe, it shows that
He must also govern it; for just as the contrivances of
man demand attention and guidance, so God,
as a good workman, must care for His work.
That end is that
all creatures should manifest the glory of God, and
in particular that man should glorify Him, recognizing in nature the work of His hand,
serving Him in obedience and love, and thereby attaining to the full development of his nature and to
eternal happiness in God.

THE MYSTERY OF PREDESTINATION John Salza (Catholic theologian.)
“The vocation to eternal life is
supernatural, it
surpasses the powers of human intellect and will,
he must be predestined to that end by God.
God must direct us to this end by His power and grace.
Thus, predestination is a
certain and infallible truth, revealed by Scripture and taught by the Catholic Church.”
.
No one can be saved without predestined to heaven, there is no other way of salvation.
Furthermore,
NO ONE can lose salvation who are predestined to heaven, because
they are all receivers of God’s gift of Final Perseverance. – Infallible teachings of the Trent.
The whole Catholic Church is praying for the salvation of the entire human race
(CCC 1058), we all should believe what we are praying for!!!
God’s love and justice demands the fulfilment of
(CCC 1058), by predestined to heaven, saving the entire human race.

God bless
